An IRM admin plans a breaking redesign of entity types that already have generated controls and risks attached. What must happen before the redesign proceeds?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Changing the shape of entity types after controls already hang off them is like remodeling a bridge while traffic is on it. Run impact analysis first so you know what orphans and remaps you are about to create. Surprises here show up as missing owners and silent coverage gaps.
Full Explanation
Entity types drive which source records become entities and how controls and risks are generated against them. Breaking changes can orphan existing generated items, break scoping filters, and disrupt ownership. Candidates should plan impact analysis—inventorying dependent controls, risks, indicators, and mappings—before redesigning types so remediation and regeneration are deliberate.
